| History | ||||||
| The GFWC-Maysville Younger Woman's Club began on September 29, 1931. The club was sponsored by the Mason County Woman's Club and was originally known as the Maysville Junior Woman's Club. By 1941, the junior women had become a strong civic-minded group. They were involved in many phases of community improvement and were ready to break away from the Mason County Woman's Club (later the Maysville Woman's Club) to become a seperate entity. That same year, the junior women joined the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs. Because of Federation standards for club size, age limits, and other requirements, the juniors changed their name in 1949 to the Maysville Younger Woman's club (MYWC). MYWC has a long tradition of service to the greater Maysville community. The area has come to rely on the volunteerism of the club when in need of a helping hand. MYWC has continued to serve and be successful due to two major factors: 1) A core group of women have stayed in the club to provide leadership and continuity and 2) A constant recruitment of new members as women have moved from the area or moved on to greater family and work commitments. |
